Get Growing
Craig Sailor is the Arts & Entertainment editor at The News Tribune. Last year he planted his first vegetable garden. Focusing on unusual varieties, “Freak of Nature” returns for 2008 with a new crop of uncommon vegetables and flowers. This year he’ll try yin yang beans, giant pumpkins, blue poppies and mutant sunflowers. He gardens at his North End Tacoma home and sneaks seeds in to his mother’s garden at Willapa Bay when she’s not looking. E-mail him at craig.sailor@thenewstribune.com.

Sue Kidd is the Lifestyle Editor at The News Tribune and the ringleader for the Home&Garden section. She is a decent vegetable gardener, but occasionally a tragic mess at growing other stuff. She’ll blog about gardening events, gadgets, her weird obsession with guerrilla gardening and all her assorted garden disasters. E-mail her with thoughts/rants/questions/bizarre observations. sue.kidd@thenewstribune.com.

A Gardening Blog
Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Posted by Sue Kidd @ 03:27:22 pm

Spring is nearly here (I'm not making that up, check your calendars). Wandering around the exhibition hall at the Tacoma Home Show, held through Sunday at the Tacoma Dome, I stopped to check out the flowers. Well, actually, there weren't many flowers, but there were lots of bulbs.

Here are the booths I stopped by:

Connell's Dahlias
B&D Lilies
MAK Lilies & Perennials
Vanveen Bulbs

Also, tucked into a corner of the exhibition hall is the Gardener's Market. I saw a display of hebes that has my name written all over it. You can bet I'll be buying some at the show this weekend.
